Shrimp look awesome! Got excited when I saw your screen name because my last name is Appleton, then I realized it was the name of your snail! LOL

Nice work on the tanks. I'm getting crs and planning not to mix the carid and neos in fear of cross breeding.

I dont know about you, but i find when they shrimp are happy, my mosses also begin to shoot many more blooms out.

A couple of impulse buys...

Probably a sunkist/C. propinqua here with 2 cherries:

Can see her eggs...

The other yellow shrimp is a bit shy. I've yet to figure out if she's a Neocaridina yellow variant or a yellowish babaulti.

A few more recent shots. Acquired some RCS and some painted fire reds. Mr. Appleton has tripled in size, at least... And moved the danios out to a bigger tank. Found by chance some Corydoras hastatus at a LFS and now they are happy tank mates with the shrimps:

This cherry is mom to at least 50 juvies:

Caught in the act?

A berried low grade cherry:

Tanks and critters

I started a 7.9G Fluval Ebi in June, and it's evolved quite a bit since then...
